How easy is it to get on the presidential ballot in Arizona? Most states have between 3 and 10 candidates listed. In Arizona, there are 24 presidential candidates for each party.

I love the bizarro results, like Clinton getting 1% of the voters who said they would only be satisfied if Obama wins the nomination.
